form inputs data failed to be received when element is inserted with JavaScript

I am trying to dynamically change the html of parent form element to display according the what the user wants to upload, then retrieve the data from that child element. I saved the list of children to dynamically input in the js folder leaving the parent form element empty.
The issue is:
a) When I dynamically input the preferred child element according to what user wants to upload, It doesn't retrieve the values even though it shows in the DOM that the element is there.
b) Whereas if I statically input the child element in html folder, it works just fine. but when the child is changed again, its still the statically inputted values I get back.
please how do I go about this?? Here's the codepen showing it.

CODEPEN: https://codepen.io/genral-walker/pen/vYgqbvL

Main problem is that you're caching reference to elements that might not be in DOM at the time. You should store a selector instead:
fromInputs: {
Name: '#title',
Brand: '#brand',
Model: '#car-model',
Location: '#location',
Description: '#description',
Status: '#sale-status',
Price: '#price',
Bedrooms: '#bedrooms',
Bathrooms: '#bathrooms',
Garage: '#garage',
Area: '#area',
Amenities: '#amenities',
'Type Of Land': '#land-type',
Year: '#year',
Condition: '#condition',
Transmission: '#transmission',
Registered: '#registered',
Mileage: '#mileage',
},
And then look it up later:
const data = Object.entries(projectData.fromInputs).map(([key, value]) => {
console.log(key, value);
const $el = $(value);
return [key, $el.length && $el.val()];
});

Ajax PHP Form Submission with Image and Text

I'm writing an app that allows my wife to add her recipes to a database i have set up. I have a form set up with both text and a file input for an image. It works fine and she can upload text and image to the database. Now, I'm trying to add a feature so that she can edit it. It's the same exact form only the data goes to a different PHP file for processing. When she clicks the "Edit" button it populates all the text inputs with the data pulled from the server and she can edit. She can also add a new photo if she wishes. Despite the fact that it's the same form, it will not upload the image. The text uploads fine, but the $_POST['recipeImage'] is always empty when I look at the object being sent to the server (recipeImage: "");
I am baffled and cannot see why this isn't working. Here is the code:

$newObject = getSingleRecipeById_recipes($recipeId, $creatorId);
echo json_encode($newObject);
}
else {
$result = "notModified";
echo json_encode($result);
}
?>

You obviously forgot to change $_POST['recipeImage'] to $_FILES['recipeImage']
Files are contained in the $_FILES global variable not $_POST
Change this
if(isset($_POST['recipeImage'])){
to
if(isset($_FILES['recipeImage'])){

Dynamic multiselect feature

I am creating the fields dynamically in HTML using this JS, and in multiselect I'm using bootstrap multiselect here is the code https://bootsnipp.com/snippets/Ekd8P when I click on the add more button it creates the form dynamically.
js code for creating a form dynamically :
$(function() {
// Remove button
$(document).on(
'click',
'[data-role="dynamic-fields"] > .form-horizontal [data-role="remove"]',
function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(this).closest('.form-horizontal').remove();
}
);
// Add button
var i = 1;
$(document).on(
'click',
'[data-role="dynamic-fields"] > .form-horizontal [data-role="add"]',
function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var container = $(this).closest('[data-role="dynamic-fields"]');
new_field_group = container.children().filter('.form-horizontal:first-child').clone();
new_field_group.find('input').each(function() {
if (this.name == 'tags[0]') {
$(this).tagsinput('destroy');
$(this).tagsinput('removeAll');
this.name = this.name.replace('[0]', '[' + i + ']');
var new_container = $(this).closest('[class="form-group"]');
new_container.find(".bootstrap-tagsinput:first").remove();
} else {
$(this).val('');
}
});

The issue is that when I click on the add more item it reflects the multiselect dropdown twice as you see in this image.
I want that if I click on the add more item button it restates the multiselect dropdown as in the first state.
see this jsfiddle.net/akshaycic/svv742r7/7 it will clear all your doubt. on click plus button it is not reflect to "none selected" state it will remain in its initial state.
Any leads would be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Bro check this line:
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">INVITE QUOTES</button>
here you are using button type submit, submit button will submit the form and reloads the page. Instead use:
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg btn-block">INVITE QUOTES</button>

Form.Serialize with checkbox array

I'm submitting a form through JQuery by using the form.serialize method. But that same form has an array of checkboxes, which is dynamically genetrated by a PHP function
This is the form:

And this is the php function that generates the checkboxes:
function profileCheckBoxes(){
$queryListProfiles = "SELECT * FROM perfil";
$listProfiles = mysqli_query($GLOBALS['dbc'],$queryListProfiles);
$numProfiles = mysqli_num_rows($listProfiles);
if($numProfiles !=""){
while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($listProfiles)){
?>
<label class="checkbox-inline">
<input type="checkbox" value="<?php echo $row['id']?>" name="profiles[]">
<?php echo $row['Nome']; ?>
</label>
<?php
}
}
}
How can I submit the form with form.serialize in Jquery and in the PHP side process the checkbox so I can extract the values from the checkbox array?

This jQuery documentation page explains how to use the serialize function:
http://api.jquery.com/serialize/
If you then pass the output to your php page using POST, in the PHP script the checked values will be stored in $_POST['profiles'] as an array. So to loop through the values of the checked boxes you could use:
foreach ($_POST['profiles'] as $profile) {
//process code here
}

jQuery's form.serialize only pass checksboxes that are checked.
if you want all your checkboxes to get passed to your server consider to generate also hidden inputs to store those values.
I would also change the checkboxes name to "profiles"
